Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop a viable survey questionnaire for assessing prospective teachers’ attitudes and perceptions concerning multicultural education issues, and to test the efficacy of the instrument for identifying attitude differences among the prospective teachers. If attitudes about multicultural education can be accessed through a questionnaire, the results may be beneficial for helping to prepare teachers to serve diverse student groups. The investigators assumed that prospective teachers with positive attitudes and opinions are more prone to behave appropriately and constructively in actual teaching situations involving students of diverse cultures, ethnic groups, backgrounds, abilities, economical levels, etc., and, generally, in dealing with multicultural issues in classroom settings. This demographic imperative has implications for teacher education programs.
Programs need to prepare teachers who can effectively instruct students of diverse backgrounds and cultures. A broader suggestion for teacher education programs is the need to prepare budding teachers to live and function in diverse communities and contribute to social prosperity at the national and global levels. The skills, attitudes, and knowledge learned through multicultural education are important for all students. Teacher educators play a contributory role in identifying and executing appropriate strategies for realizing multicultural education objectives. Therefore, teacher educators must identify ways of judging the effectiveness of the activities and programs they employ for the promotion of multicultural education.

Keywords: Multicultural attitude, teacher educators, multiculturalism, multicultural education, diverse culture and society
